How did you start as an actor?
When I was 4 years old, I was in a Christmas pageant at school. After the show, I realized that I really loved being on stage. I told my parents that I wanted to be an actor. My first stage show was playing Doody in Grease and I nailed it! After that, I got an agent and started working on camera which now I like better than on stage.



What is the best part of acting?
I love that fact that I'm making money for my future! I will be able to pay for college myself which is huge!



Who inspires you or what inspires you?
Don Cheadle and Chris Tucker. If I could merge them together into my personality that would be great! Don Cheadle is an actor and a director and Chris Tucker is a great actor and comedian.

Tell us about your new movie with Halle Berry.
It is about a little boy who gets kidnapped from a fair while his mom is on a phone call. Halle is a hero in the movie because she doesn't stop until she gets her son back! There is lots of suspense and a lot of action!



How was it working with such a famously beautiful and iconic actress?
It was cool because I got to get a lot of advice from someone who has been in the business for a long time. Plus, she was very nice. Much nicer than I ever imagined!

Who would you want to work in the future?
Chris Tucker because he seems like a cool dude and very funny so we would probably have a good time on set!


What is your favorite tv show or movie of all time?
I love Rush Hour 2 because it is hilarious and there is a lot of action. I like action comedies. I enjoy Jackie Chan movies because he is so good at kung fu.

Who inspires you or what inspires you?
Don Cheadle and Chris Tucker. If I could merge them together into my personality that would be great! Don Cheadle is an actor and a director and Chris Tucker is a great actor and comedian.


How do you do school? Do you ever wish you could go to public school?

At my old school, I would have to leave early a lot for auditions and sometimes miss school when I was working. My teacher would send the schoolwork with me to complete with the set teacher. This year, I am going to a new school for working kids so the schedule is going to be more flexible or me.

What do you do on your days off?
Sometimes I go to Universal Studios or I might be at home Face-timing with my friends or playing video games.
